Monet's works are not cheap, and a "Sunrise Impression" is a treasure of a museum in Paris.

Fan Liancheng had learned the details of the artist's transaction price in recent years, and asked someone to help estimate the market price of the "Water Lilies" auctioned tonight, and was mentally prepared to rise by up to 10% on the basis of the expert valuation before the auction began.

As early as 2008, Monet's "Water Lilies" was auctioned for more than 40 million pounds, equivalent to more than 80 million US dollars.

It is also because of the depreciation of the pound that the shares of the London landmark Building Shard held by Dragon City Group have not made any money so far.

After all, he didn't have the ability to have the foresight, it was normal to win and lose in business, the pound depreciated, but the RMB appreciated, in fact, Fan Liancheng took advantage of it, picked up the watermelon and lost the sesame seeds.

At this moment, sitting alone in the box.

Fan Liancheng's thoughts were hooked by the "little wild cat" below, and forcibly pushed away the duck sent to his mouth, how can the taste be good, it is really a pity but it is not enough, after all, wildflowers are everywhere, and many times it is nothing more than the difference between wanting to pick or not.

After waiting for a while, when the auction of "Water Lilies" began, he unhurriedly watched the situation first, and saw that hundreds of thousands of people were adding up, and the price soon exceeded 22 million US dollars.

After a short pause, someone in the box next to him continued to raise the price, and a player who bid by phone directly raised it to 28 million, and the increase between them was not large, Fan Liancheng immediately entered 28.8 million US dollars, and after a while, it was exceeded again, and it was raised to 30 million US dollars.

The first lot to bid for more than $30 million tonight.

This price happened to be stuck near Fan Liancheng's psychological price, and he went crazy with a few words, and continued to enter 30.5 million, and within a few seconds, someone came out with 32 million pounds.

Suddenly, he saw McKennie standing on the auction table, looked at his side, and said something sideways, Fan Liancheng was just about to continue to add 500,000 US dollars, but stopped at this moment.

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, and he should not have told McKennie in advance that he had taken a fancy to this "Water Lilies", although he felt that an auction house of this scale was unlikely to be cheating, but who could really say in front of interests.

It's just a whim, and you can't buy it.

So Fan Liancheng decisively stopped and stopped raising the price, anyway, there are more "Water Lilies" series in circulation in the world, and he may be able to find a better work if he wants to find a way.

On weekdays, he develops the habit of being cautious and cautious in business, even if there is only a little possibility of being played, he doesn't want to jump into the pit, so he just looks on the wall, quite casually.

......

I thought it was over, and I only bought some inconspicuous gadgets.

What Fan Liancheng didn't expect was that McKennie quickly found his box and told with a look of indebtedness:

"I'm sorry, our auction house made a big mistake, the one who just bid with you for "Water Lilies" actually repented on the spot and told him that he didn't want it, or how about calculating the transaction price according to your last bid?"

If his old classmate McKennie hadn't found it, Fan Liancheng would have guessed that maybe he was too cautious and a little more cautious, but he changed his mind so quickly, even a fool could see that it was really a coincidence, and it was so clever that it was fake.

The reputation of the auction house is not bad, but the people who are in charge of the company are all people, and God knows if McKennie regarded Fan Liancheng as a wronged boss and dug a pit for his old classmates to jump into.

Being cheated is far more uncomfortable than losing money, Fan Liancheng shook his head decisively, ran the train with his mouth full, and said with a shocked expression:

"But I've just asked someone to help me find other paintings of "Water Lilies", you can communicate with the buyer who successfully took the auction first, I still have something to do, I need to go to the hotel, call us. ”

Smiled and patted McKennie, and walked straight out with his leg raised.

Sometimes bad people live better than good people, Fan Liancheng doesn't care what impact a finale oil painting will have on McKennie, anyway, he didn't do anything wrong, he did give the hammer to others, there is no reason to help others for no reason.

If it weren't for the so-called anonymous phone buyer, the price might have stopped at about $29 million, no matter how you look at it, Fan Liancheng would have no reason to suffer a loss, and he took over at a price of $30.5 million.

Really said to go, McKennie called Fan Liancheng again that night, and hurriedly discussed the transaction of the oil painting, and found that there was no intention of making concessions on the price, Fan Liancheng rejected him again and did not give face.

As a matter of fact.

After making two phone calls, Fan Liancheng heard from Cai Jiarong, a female buyer of the casino who helped him buy a private jet in his early years, that there happened to be a two-meter-long and one-meter-wide "Water Lilies" on the market that was trying to be sold.

asked her to help inquire about the price, and went to the NASDAQ stock exchange the next day to find someone to ask about the listing of Sihai Real Estate, which was co-founded by Lao Fan and Man Yuanchun's boss.

This real estate agency is currently involved in online and offline first-hand, second-hand housing transactions and leasing industries, ranking second in the industry, with a total of more than 200 million yuan before and after, and the number of stores has swelled rapidly to nearly 1,000, covering more than 60 first- and second-tier key cities, and has been profitable since the year before last.

If it is taken out and listed, the market value should exceed 3 billion US dollars, there is a relatively considerable performance to support the market value, and there is nearly one billion yuan of cash lying on the books.

At present, it is just to understand the situation, leave the NASDAQ exchange, and go straight to the airport to board the plane and return home.

Not long after, I received an email from Cai Jiarong, which was full of top artworks for sale, covering classic cars, oil paintings, jewelry, cold weapons, porcelain, etc., and the prices were generally more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

Fan Liancheng rummaged through it, accidentally took a fancy to a large pot of Yuan Qinghua Wu Song Tiger Fighting, called Cai Jiarong, and learned that the price was at least about 350 million Hong Kong dollars.

More than once I heard Lao Fan at home, I never forgot the big pot of Guiguzi going down the mountain that was also Yuan Qinghua, and in addition, the old man of his family just gave him a huge sum of money some time ago, and now Fan Liancheng is very willing to spend money to return the gift......
